Answer 1

The book was written as a criticism of slavery.  With the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850, people in the north were required to return slaves to the south by law or they would be arrested.  Uncle Tom's Cabin made people in the north feel badly for the terrible conditions of the slaves and not want to comply with the Fugitive Slave Act.
